WP:N Unable to find reliable, secondary sources providing in-depth coverage of this video game developer in order to evidence notability under WP:BASIC. I've attempted searches both in English and Japanese, but the latter using automated translation, so additional sourcing welcomed as always. joe decker ^{talk to me} 07:01, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Although I'm an anonymous user, I don't think this page should be deleted. Already the one for Masaya Hashimoto is gone and I can't find it on Google cache, and now you're trying to remove this one. it's a valuable part of gaming history and the page should stay. Wikipedia's policy of randomly deleting stuff on a whim makes me hate this site. You can quote official policy all you like, but your collection of so called editors are a bunch of fringe nutcases who treat this site like their own personal lobotomy project. It's supposed to be a collection of information but there is a relentless mad rush by wannabe gung-ho editors who like to delete with little care in the world.

I doubt this is going to change anyone's mind, you're all inept I think anyway, but I wanted to commit this to digital print: Leave the Tomoyoshi Miyazaki page alone, it has already proved immensely useful for me, in pointing me in the right direction for additional research. Although I never use Wikipedia as a primary source, the page on T Miyazaki highlighted something I was unaware of, and therefor allowed me to go on and find primary sources for related information.

Without this page, acting as a beacon, I would never have been able to progress further, indeed I would have been oblivious to certain things. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.217.221.167 (talk) 12:48, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, Wikipedia is not a primary source. It's a tertiary source. Marasmusine (talk) 16:49, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Indeed, Wikipedia is not a primary source, but it is a primary reference, to solidify your thoughts or writings a further research is needed, but nobody understands that. Eduemoni ^↑talk↓ 01:49, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note to anonymous user. Firstly, all opinions are welcome, anonymous or otherwise. Secondly, the fact that you or anyone else would use a page as a primary reference is exactly why this page is up for deletion. Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable or it is completely useless because there is no way to know if it is correct. Wrong information is much more dangerous than no information. Lastly, why not register and get a username? J04n(talk page) 10:58, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: unable to find significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject of this unsourced BLP. J04n(talk page) 11:14, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note It's me, the anon from before. As I stated in my previous post, I do NOT use Wikipedia as a primary source. I use Wikipedia as a jumping off point to then find primary sources. Private research isn't allowed on Wikipedia, and that's fine, you can source me when my piece is published, but my point is this: the pages here gave me the names of two developers. From there I went through my contacts list until I found people who I could contact and ask about them. Plus I searched other online sources, including a Square-Enix staff database. Without this Wiki page I would not have even known what what to check. As for sources, the Japanese wiki pages are still up: ja:宮崎友好, ja:橋本昌哉

In addition, this page on HG101 references the two creators. Not sure if it's good enough, some articles on Wikipedia cite that site as a source.
